Day 134

So my yoga marathon lasted a dozen days before my body began to poop out to the point that my practice was suffering. I went last Friday night against it's wishes and afterward was so exhausted I knew getting up @ 7am Saturday wasn't going to happen. I had plans with my friend Anna, who's visiting from Michigan (where she lives with her husband and two kids), that began @ 1030am in Golden Gate Park, so the 8-930a session was the only class I could make that day. I went Sunday, but when Monday came I thought it best to skip that night too since that class is 7-8:30p, giving me little time to unwind before bed @ 10p. I'm strict about getting 8hrs before getting up for the 6:30a class, which I'm not only diligent about getting up for, I'm excited about. In fact I'm disappointed it's only offered Tues-Thurs. I would go every weekday if I could. But doing the night class and then the morning class 10hrs later is not something I plan to do regularly. I do vow to go at least 5 days a week, and start to incorporate Pilates back into my routine too 'cause I miss it.

Since I've been doing Bikram yoga I sleep soundly, hear better, smell better, focus better, am calmer & more content, stronger (like I've never known strength, particularly in my knees!), and in general really AWARE. Obviously, my body looks faboo and I'm more flexible too. My diet fluctuates. Period time still brings cravings for sweets. In contrast, I've acquired a strong desire for soup.

17) Take Acting for Camera class enrolled 7/4/07

Last night was my first Acting for Camera class. It's going to be a lot more intense than I previously thought. It's goal is to prepare you for professional acting. I'm not worried about the work though, I'm really excited about it. I'll get to do two scenes, a monologue, and a classic piece, along with some smaller assignments. Only 11 of the 18 people enrolled in the class showed up plus 2 adds, which the teacher was bothered by. It's a very diverse and interesting group (a typical occurrence at City college). We played all sorts of games after introducing ourselves. In one of them you mold your partner into a given adjective. The guy I was paired with sculpted me into joy, which required me to lean slightly forward with my legs, arms, and fingers spread wide. Then to top it off he formed a huge smile on my face. I had to maintain this pose until the group finished evaluating the rest of the human sculptures. By the time they guessed what I represented, and I could let down my leaden arms, I was quite relieved. Unfortunately, I have a knot in my back today.

74) Participate: 26 Things

This website is no longer there. I'm not going to despair. All I need is a list of 26 things I can then interpret through photographs. Anyone want to make me a list?
Ooh, another thought, maybe I could paint those 26 things instead... or I could do both. I still need a list though. Anyone? Ajectives and verbs are welcome along with nouns.
